Since we had to give up our beloved WERKSTATT in Ulm’s Weststadt, we have been working diligently to create a new place for alternative art – against the mainstream: the “ANARRES” (Known in author Ursula K. Le Guin’s novel as “Planet of the Have-Nots”. A Utopia in Another Universe)
The Anarres is a center that promotes non-commercial culture, emancipatory education and alternative music in Ulm and the surrounding area.
We are individuals who organize ourselves in different working groups inspired by anarchist ideas. These groups have different focuses, organizational structures and goals. We try to coordinate important decisions and make them according to a consensus principle. In doing so, we try to keep hierarchies flat and avoid various forms of discrimination as best we can.
The goal of our concept is to build up a network of small groups that work together and support each other according to principles of mutual help, but can act autonomously.
Our self-image is “work in progress” and that is fully intended. If you want to reach us, write to us.
